Spring

This is why we like spring! Emily went outside to jump on the trampoline yesterday afternoon and I sat outside and took some photos. The trampoline was probably one of the best buys we ever made. It gets used almost daily during the warmer months and whenever Emily can get out there during the colder months.

Now, about diets, why is it that whenever I decide to go on a diet I end up putting on weight; willpower flies out the window and anything remotely "bad" is what I want to eat!! I am trying to be good at the moment but I find it so difficult. Summer will be here before we know it though so I have to make the effort. Wish me luck!

I got a few photos of Finton yesterday, sent through by Pat (Shannon's mum). Here are a couple of them.

Till tomorrow, have a good evening.

First braai of the year

As I said yesterday, beautiful weather and it's continued through to today. When Claire got home from College last night she asked if we had any charcoal as she just fancied a braai (barbeque). As luck would have it we did have enough and, because I'd just been shopping, I was able to make a salad and we had bread rolls and everything we needed. It was such a nice change and gave us a taste of summer (before the rain comes back again!)

My dinner! The salad was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole meal.

Emily has been off school yesterday and today while we waited for results back from the doctor. Fortunately these came through tonight and were clear! Back to school tomorrow! She did take the opportunity, while at home, to practice playing her violin and gave us a "mini recital"

Well done and keep up the practicing Emily!
More tomorrow - have a good night everyone

It's a dogs life....

Today we are having beautiful weather. It's even fairly warm!! You know the old saying It's a dog's life! Well, I think Wallace thinks so too ...

Making the most of the sunshine - might as well have a snooze!

Did I hear something? My eyes are too heavy to open!

I'll just watch - too relaxed to run around.
Cloud on the other hand had plenty of energy and didn't want to sit still for a photo

and Charlie wondered which dog he could attack next

A couple of photos of the garden - just because I could! Have to make the most of the sunshine while we have it.

I love it when the sun comes out again and it begins to feel like Spring. Unfortunately, I thought that about two weeks ago and then we had snow again! I'm not going to take anything for granted this time but will just enjoy it each day it comes. Here's to many more sunny days.

Enjoy the rest of your day
